Author Thomas Ricks: Fox News "Was Operating as a Wing of the Republican Party"
The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Thomas Ricks is drawing attention for his criticism of Fox News over its coverage of the deadly attacks on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. The veteran military reporter made the comments against Fox News during an interview with the network Monday.
Thomas Ricks: "I think that Benghazi generally was hyped, by this network especially, and that now that the campaign is over, I think [Senator John McCain] is backing off a little bit. They're not going to stop Susan Rice from being secretary of state. I've covered a lot of fire-fights, it is impossible to figure out what happens in them sometimes. And second, I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox News was operating as a wing of the Republican Party."
